So I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, due to being really busy, spending time with family, going out of town, etc. Plus, I'm SO TIRED ALL THE TIME!

So here's a quick update on what's been going on!

I don't know if I ever posted my beta numbers, but my first beta (12p3dt) was 430, and the numbers doubled...

I am 7 weeks pregnant with a successful FET, I should be happy right? I had my first u/s last Wednesday and everything looked good, no issues. Wheew... I can relax... nope. I started spotting on Friday and I really tried to think positively and reasure myself that this is normal and not to worry about it. Then the color changed from light brown to...

I would probably sound like an evil bitch sister with this post. But here is my rambling for the day. My older sister is also pregnant and ahead of me by 9 weeks so she's due anytime soon. She lives abroad and I chat with her pretty much everyday online. My problem is she complains a lot about her damn pregnancy! This is her 3rd so...

After spending the weekend camping with one of my best friends and her kids and my niece and stepson I am left reflecting and thinking about what kind of mother I would be.

I think I would be a good mother, and to most of you this would be a natural assumption about yourself and something you always "knew" but for me it comes much more...

As unfortunate as it is Alcholoisium is very heavy in my dad's side of the family and recently, on my mum's now too. My dad, uncle, grandpa, and great uncles were all acholocolics. That's one thing I don't have to worry about since we used a donar. That dd will inherit that trait. I used to think it was all environmental but...

Ever felt like you were going crazy? :wacko: Maybe you are suffering from Infertility Fatigue Syndrome? That's my new self diagnosis. Here's a proposal for the next Diagnostic and Statistical Manual revision:

Infertility Fatigue Syndrome
Symptoms of IFS include a chronic intense sadness and fear coupled with episodes of hope and...

So here we are in Australia! I started writing this entry from my hotel room bed where I had a stunning view of Sydney Opera House and the harbour. We went at short notice, just for a week, because one of my oldest friends has had a recurrence of her breast cancer and I really wanted to visit her and support her through a round of chemo. ...

I have a 'poor me' attitude today. I think it's from lack of sleep last night. I told two of my old college friends 2 months ago that we were starting ivf in August/September. I just realized they haven't asked me once about it and I haven't heard from them since our last dinner. Granted we are not as close as we were and we...

I was just reflecting today on all that's happened over the past years since we started trying to have children. Now I'm at a point where I accept this is the reality for us. It is not easy for us to have a child in any way we've tried.

Thirteen years ago I married my husband. We were both 21 and I was in university. I thought...

I was driving to work yesterday and I heard on the radio that Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid has been revised. The top triangle, which used to be 'Self-Actualization', has been changed to 'Parenting'.

Hearing that, I was flooded with emotions and bad memories of the last few years, and right then and there I started to...
